MPI_Get_processor_name(3) MPI MPI_Get_processor_name(3) NAME MPI_Get_processor_name - Gets the name of the processor SYNOPSIS int MPI_Get_processor_name(char *name, int *resultlen) OUTPUT PARAMETERS name - A unique specifier for the actual (as opposed to virtual) node. (string) resultlen - Length (in printable characters) of the result returned in name (integer) NOTES The name returned should identify a particular piece of hardware; the exact format is implementation defined. This name may or may not be the same as might be returned by gethostname , uname , or sysinfo . THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe. NOTES FOR FORTRAN All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr is an inte- ger and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call state- ment. All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran. In Fortran, the character argument should be declared as a character string of MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME rather than an array of dimension MPI_MAX_PROCES- SOR_NAME . That is, character*(MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME) name rather than character name(MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME) The sizes of MPI strings in Fortran are one less than the sizes of that string in C/C++ because the C/C++ versions provide room for the trailing null character required by C/C++. For example, MPI_MAX_ERROR_STRING is mpif.h is one smaller than the same value in mpi.h. See the MPI standard, sections 2.6.2 and 4.12.9. ERRORS All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last ar- gument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error han- dler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible. MPI_SUCCESS - No error; MPI routine completed successfully. MPI_ERR_ARG - Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ). MPI_ERR_OTHER - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code. 4/10/2026 MPI_Get_processor_name(3)
